Don't you think Genevieve resembles Obama's mother, who was white? Imagine being a heterosexual man and feeling that you weren't supposed to be attracted to a woman who reminds you of your mother. There's this alternate never-to-be-written Obama search-for-identity book titled "Dreams From My Mother."

By the way, I assumed it was conventional wisdom that men tend to feel attracted to women who remind them of their mothers, but I can see that I'm being mocked over at a blog I won't link to for referring to that relatively banal reality. Oh, hell, I don't care: here's the link.

It's really astounding how prissy lefties have become over the years. I remember when folk of the left-wing persuasion loved to delve into Freudian analysis. Now, they're so strait-laced about sex. They hew to politically required points about sexual/reproductive freedom, but there's no curiosity, no depth, no originality, no exploration of ideas. So dull!

Not so fast. Latest reports say that Zimmerman had an Afro-Peruvian great grandfather. Even if we are to assume that the ancestor was fully black, being from Peru he was more likely a Zambo, that would make Zimmerman himself one-eighth black. If Obama had married a white woman his son or daughter would be one-quarter black.

Everyone's tastes are different, but I would bet that men are generally sexually attracted to women who differ a bit from the mother/sisters. For example, if the man is white, there's an attraction bias toward an ethnic look (Asian, Latina), but not too far.

According to a trace of Obama's father's genealogy, there is a strong Arabic component in his bloodline. Arabs are Caucasians; therefore they estimated Obama's actual racial makeup as 85% white/15% black which makes Zimmerman more black than he is.

That's unless the newest theory is true and his real father was Frank Marshall Davis, which would make him 50-50.

Sounds dubious ... photos of Obama pere show him to be just about as dark as a human can be. He was from the Luo tribe, which even other Kenyans consider to be dark.

I, too, remember along with Prof Althouse when lefties used to quote Freud at the drop of a hat. Freud was all about overcoming repression, especially sexual repression, which nasty ole Christianity was really all about. It was really useful talk for getting laid. Forget about the fact that Freud said that that without repression we'd have no civilization.

Matter of fact, even though it was Paul Ricoeur, a relative "rightie" (well, a theist at least) who coined the term the Masters of Suspicion,, it was the lefties who went to town with it.

You don't hear Lefties talk about Nietzsche much anymore, either. He was just too upfront in his lake of sympathy for life's losers, I guess. And, way too upfront in his misogyny.

And, with that, you escaped my withering criticism and reinforced my image of you as braver than the rest of your type. Definitely braver, and more honest, than Glenn Reynolds. That's how it's done, Ann, and Bravo! to you for recognizing it.

Being as multi-racial as a your average street mutt, I can state with clarity, and clear heart, that I don't dislike Zero because he is black, or part black, or anything. I despise him for what he is doing to the greatest nation ever to exist.

AllieOop said...Oh go suck a lemon Jay, you are being nothing more than a contrarian. Since when do you speak for Ann?

I didn't say I "speak for Ann"

Your inability to read what she wrote and comprehend it is a you problem.

How you can read "They hew to politically required points about sexual/reproductive freedom, but there's no curiosity, no depth, no originality, no exploration of ideas. " and arrive at the conclusion the author is accusing anyone of being a "prude" is astounding.

Whatever Jay, she was connecting that statement with the notion that liberals were acting, prudish or prissy, because of the comments in the blog she linked to. They were accusing her of being perverted or weird, or drunk.

THAT is the "ideas" she was referring to, man you are thick. And if and until Ann decides to correct me, I will believe my take on it is correct and yours is wrong.

And FentheWifeAbuser , The only one you "outed" on anything was yourself. You showed yourself to be a scary, unstable, person who has visions of gang rapes of murder by burning of women he doesn't know, because of political differences.

You are a strange one Fen, seriously you do need help. It's very evident you have had a break from reality, or maybe Fen's world is your reality and has been for quite sometime.

So if ever you feel like you don't want to live anymore and want to murder someone (your OWN words), I suggest thinking of your wife and kids and the shame you would bestow on them, get help first.

If I had a son with Jessica Alba, I bet he'd be better looking than George Zimmerman. Maybe with Selma Hayek, he'd look a little like Zimmerman. With Sotomayor, he'd probably be a lot uglier. But all in all, I'd say it would be difficult for me to have a son who looked like George Zimmerman.

Not in the case of Salma Hayek. Although she was born in Mexico she has no Amerindian or African ancestry and therefore is not "Hispanic" in the racial sense of the word. Her ancestry is European and Lebanese.

They've become what they hate?

I was LMAO because over at The Belmont Club and is "The Superior Man" post. The psychos once again consign conservative thought to we sloped-forehead knuckle-draggers,but this was the best response I think I've ever seen that liberals are more intelligent than conservatives:

I guess liberals really are smarter than conservatives. The proof would be that many young liberals later change into conservatives. See, that’s being smart.

To be clear, it wasn't Ann that called Fluke a slut, but her buddy Limbaugh.

when did Ann ever state that Limbaugh was a "buddy"? She listens to him just like she listens to left-wingers, to get all sides. But being the liberal SCUM that you are, you are not in favor of all sides getting a fair hearing.

I think we've had some editing trouble at some point. Given the Afro-Peruvian great-grandfather, Zimmerman's grandmother is fully as black as Obama, but Zimmerman himself would only be 4 times as black as Warren is Indian.

Allie.. it's irrelevant what my personal position is. What's relevant are my arguments. You are obviously intellectually too feeble to decouple the two things. You realize in Socratic dialogues, all that mattered was the reasoning behind the argument, not the credibility of the speaker.

Alex, you are here on Althouse for one purpose only, you pretty much admitted that you post comments in bad faith to disrupt the conversation, isn't that against Althouse rules? I wonder why she tolerates you.

I think you have many sockpuppets and you are not a good faith commenter, but as long as Althouse tolerates your bad faith commenting, you'll be here with bells on , all you do is make noise, you have no legitamate argument, don't flatter yourself.

Your schtick is what is boring, that's why most commenters here ignore you.
